Freebies

I'm baffled by the promo strategy of freebies, an Amazon staple. 2 weeks ago a promo of Overdrive #1 resulted in 40 downloads in five days. The next week, #2 promo got 50. Not too hot. Same procedure, same publicity, including the #3 promo this week. And only in the second day, there are almost 900 downloads!

Some other party recommendation must account for this. Nothing else makes sense to me.

Some time back I had over 1000 downloads during a promo - but to be honest, I don' t see any benefit from it, other than getting work out there.
